	(Guitar music)
	I was just thinking
	that I have been missing you way too long
	There's something inside this weary head
	that wants us to love just instead
	But I was just thinking,
	merely thinking
	I've got loads of pictures,
	I've got the one of you in that dancing dress
	But man I feel silly in that dim light
	Just after doing you by the sight of my Kodak delights,
	I am sinking,
	merely sinking
	I think about long distance rates instead of kissing you babe
	I'm a singer without a song
	If I wait for you longer
	my affection is stronger
	and I ... I was just thinking,
	merely thinking
	that this boat is sinking
	I'm tired of postcards,
	especially the ones with cute dogs and cupids
	I'm tired of calling you and missing you
	and dreaming I slept with you
	Don't get me wrong I still desperately love you
	inside this weary head
	I just want us to love just instead
	But I was just thinking and thinking,
	merely thinking
	I think about long distance rates instead of kissing you babe
	and time is running me still
	If I wait for you longer
	my affection is stronger
	I ... I was just thinking
	I ... I was just thinking
	that I'm tired of calling you once a week
	thinking of long distance rates instead of kissing you
	So baby I'm sinking,
	merely sinking
	(Guitar music ends)
	(Applause)
	Thank you.
	Singing is sharing.
	When you sing, you have to know what you're talking about intimately,
	and you have to be willing to share this insight
	and give away a piece of yourself.
	I look for this intention to share in everything,
	and I ask: what are the intentions behind this architecture or this product
	or this restaurant or this meal?
	And if your intentions are to impress people
	or to get the big applause at the end,
	then you are taking, not giving.
	And this is a song that's about --
	it's the kind of song that everyone has their version of.
	This song is called "Home,"
	and it's sort of a "This is where I'm from, nice to meet you all,"
	kind of song.
	(Laughter)
	(Applause)
	(Piano music)
	Home is the sound of birds early in the morning
	Home is a song I've always remembered
	Home is the memory of my first day in school
	Home is the books that I carry around
	Home is an alley in a faraway town
	Home is the places I've been and where I'd like to go
	Home
	I'm always gonna feel at home
	No matter where I may roam
	I'm always gonna find my way back home
	No matter how far I'm gone
	I'm always gonna feel this longing
	No matter where I might stay
	Home is a feather twirling in the air
	Home is flowers in a windowsill
	Home is all the things she said to me
	Home is a photo I never threw away
	Home is the smile on my face when I die
	Home is the taste of an apple pie
	I met a woman, she always lived in the same place
	And she said home is where you're born and raised
	And I met a man, he sat looking out to the sea
	And he said home is where you want to be
	I met a girl in some downtown bar
	And she said I'll have whatever he's having
	And I asked her how come we never met before?
	And she said all my life I've been trying
	to get a place of my own
	I'm always gonna feel at home
	No matter where I may roam
	Always gonna find my way back home
	No matter how far I'm gone
	I'm always gonna feel this longing
	No matter where I might stay
	(Piano music)
	(Piano music ends)
	(Applause)
